* The following numbers were obtained (in an anaesthetized dog whose 

 rectal temperature had fallen 2 C.) for the temperature of the walls of 

 the crural artery and vein, as measured by an electrical resistance ther- 

 mometer. 



Leg of dog lightly wrapped in wool. 

 Crural artery .... 34-95

Leg more carefully wrapped up.

Crural artery .... 3470 

 vein .... 34-82 



t The temperature in the mouth is not a very reliable index of the 

 deep temperature of the body, especially in cold weather or after exercise, 

 as it is apt to be influenced by the inspired air. The mouth must, of 

 course, be kept closed during the measurement. On the average its 

 temperature is about the same as that of the axilla, and o'4 C. below that 

 of the rectum. The rectal temperature is 0*2, or o'3 above that of the urine 

 (Pembrey).
